Hong Myung-bo's key defender Seol Young-woo (Trvena Zvezda) is attracting attention from the UAE club, a Serbian media reported.
The Serbian daily `Becherny Novosti" quoted a report by the same Serbian newspaper"Maxbet Sports" on the 14th (local time) that `Jung Woo-young could leave Zvezda this summer. UAE club Al Jazeera is showing serious interest in the trusted defender. I've been watching for a long time, and I've already received an offer of good conditions.
Al Jazeera reportedly considers Seol the ideal right-back solution. Al Jazeera has alternately used young defenders Zayed Sulfan and Mohammed Ravi, born in 2001, as right-backs this season. Al Jazeera, who is in fourth place with 30 points as of the 18th round, is already planning to strengthen its power next season. Monitoring and discussions are underway on potential transfer targets, and the recruitment will be carried out in earnest from May. Seol appears to have been included on Al Jazeera's full-back wish list. Al Jazeera is 17 points shorter than the leader Al Ahli (47 points) led by Sadar Azmun.
Despite the reports of 'Maxbet Sports', it is unclear whether the entry into the Middle East will be realized. 'Becherne Novosti' is complicated by the fact that Sul is contracted with Zvezda until June 2027. Zvezda has no intention of giving up the main player of the first team easily. In particular, Seol Young-woo, the Korean representative, perfectly adapted to the system of coach Vladan Milojevic. He predicted that Zvezda would face strong opposition, saying, 'An important asset for the team that achieves its ambitions to advance to the European tournament along with winning the Serbian Super League.
UAE traditional strongman Al Jazeera has been led by former Jordanian national team coach Hussein Amuta since July last year. Amuta is the head coach who eliminated South Korea in the semi-finals at the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup in 2024, and has been named as one of the candidates to replace former national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann. During the Asian Cup, Seol Young-woo played in both group matches and semi-finals against Jordan. Manager Amuta confirmed Seol Young-woo's ability with his own eyes. Al Jazeera previously signed former Manchester City defender Karim Lekik, former Betis midfielder Nabil Pekir and former Paris Saint-Germain striker Niskens Kebano.
Seol Young-woo's colleagues in Ulsan, Park Yong-woo (Al-Ain), Won Doo-jae (Corpakan), and Jung Seung-hyun (Al-Wasl), are currently on the UAE stage. Cho Yoo-min (Sharja) and Kwon Kyung-won (Korpakan) will also play in the UAE.

Seol Young-woo, who left Ulsan to join Zvezda last summer, has scored five goals and six assists in 31 games, including the Cup tournament, so far. In particular, he caught the eye of the European big league with an amazing performance, including three assists in the European Champions League, which he experienced for the first time. Seol Young-woo received a military service exemption for the gold medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games. It is currently valued at 2 million euros (about 3.16 billion won).
Seol Young-woo is scheduled to enter Korea to convene the national team after a 28th round home game against Spartak Subotica on the 17th. Hong Myung-bo will play Oman on the 20th at Goyang Stadium and Jordan at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 25th, respectively, in the 7th and 8th rounds of the third Asian qualifiers for the 2026 North-China World Cup.
